As February rolls in, Vietnamese car showrooms enter a slow‑down period right before the Lunar New Year celebrations. While many shoppers postpone purchases until after the holidays, automakers are unleashing a wave of promotions worth hundreds of millions of dong to clear inventory and lure early‑bird buyers.
Subaru Forester (2024 Thailand‑Built Models) – Up to 308 M VND Off
The older‑generation Subaru Forester, imported from Thailand for the 2024 model year, is enjoying a hefty discount. The 2.0 i‑S EyeSight trim can be bought for as low as 829 million VND, thanks to a direct‑rebate of up to 308 million VND. Other trims receive sizeable cuts as well: 2.0 i‑L EyeSight (278 M VND) and 2.0 i‑L (140 M VND).
Honda Civic e:HEV RS – 50% Waiver on Registration Tax
Honda’s hybrid sedan, the Civic e:HEV RS (VIN 2025), comes with a 50% reduction on the mandatory registration fee. With a list price of 999 million VND, buyers save roughly 50 million VND on the tax alone.
Suzuki Jimny – Full Registration Tax Refund + 3.5‑Year Service
The compact off‑roader Suzuki Jimny, produced in 2024, qualifies for a 100% refund of the registration tax plus a 3.5‑year maintenance package. The rebate translates to an effective discount of about 95 million VND.
Toyota Hilux (New Generation) – Gifts & Insurance Packages
The freshly launched mid‑size Toyota Hilux, priced between 632 million VND and 903 million VND, rewards the first 500 buyers with premium accessories:
- Standard & Pro trims: one‑year “Gold” insurance coverage.
- Top‑spec Trailhunter: a complete adventure‑travel equipment set.
Mitsubishi Destinator – 35 M VND Cash Incentive + Branding Bonus
Demand for the Mitsubishi Destinator remains high, and stock is limited. In February, the Premium and Ultimate versions each receive a direct cash incentive of 35 million VND, plus a special “Destinator” emblem worth 2 million VND.
Suzuki Fronx – Up to 100% Registration Tax Support
The A‑segment Suzuki Fronx, Vietnam’s first lightweight hybrid SUV, is offered in three trims priced from 520 million VND to 649 million VND. Depending on the version, buyers can enjoy a registration‑tax rebate ranging from 50% to 100%, equating to savings of 30–60 million VND.
Hyundai & Kia – Broad Cash Discounts & Extended Warranties
Hyundai’s lineup—including the Accent, Creta, Tucson, Stargazer, Santa Fe and Palisade—features rebates of 50 million to 220 million VND, plus membership perks and extended warranty options. Kia follows suit with models such as the Carnival, Seltos, Sonet, Carens and K5, each receiving cash discounts of 30 million to 90 million VND during February.
Why Many Buyers Still Hold Off
Even with these attractive offers, the pre‑Lunar New Year period is traditionally a “freeze” for dealership transactions. Prospective owners often worry they won’t receive the vehicle in time for holiday travel. Sales staff typically advise customers to place a deposit and arrange delivery after the celebrations, rather than guaranteeing a pre‑holiday handover.
According to a sales consultant at a Japanese‑brand showroom in Ho Chi Minh City, “Most customers start looking in January to secure a car before Tet. By February, we can only take deposits and schedule deliveries for after the holiday, because registration and paperwork take longer during the festive shutdown.”
Whether you’re aiming to beat the holiday rush or prefer to wait until after Tet, the current wave of promotions makes February a compelling month to lock in a deal on a new vehicle in Vietnam.
